In April 2021 my wife and I went sailing with Terry through the Gold Coast Broadwater and surrounds. Terry is an outstanding sailing guide and host. We spent time with Terry learning about sailing in the Gold Coast seaways and just as importantly to us, time relaxing. I highly recommend Terry and "Celebrate by Sail Gold Coast". We will be back next summer.

The learn to sail experience with Terry was awesome and I would definitely recommend it! We were two adults and one 15 year old and Terry kept us all involved and engaged despite our differing levels of knowledge. He is a fantastic teacher and we can’t wait to come back and learn even more. Thank you Terry.

Our sailing experience with Terry was awesome , we did the lesson as part of getting experienced for a bare foot boating holiday in October !!! Terry was very professional and taught us a lot in our 3 hour lesson , from safety. Using the winches, putting up sails and sailing , in a fun and easy to understand manor ! It was a great experience and we will definitely be doing another couple of lessons !!!Such a nice guy and very knowledgeable !!!Thanks Terry x, Rob and Jane Weaver

My husband and I had a wonderful time learning to sail with Terry. He was a great teacher and gave us plenty of opportunity to practice out on the water. We can't wait to go back and do another lesson. Highly recommend!!

We had a great afternoon learning to sail. Terry was easy to communicate with in the lead up. He explained the process of sailing really well and by the end of the lesson we were tacking. We learned a lot in one lesson and I can’t wait to practise it all again. Highly recommend

Took the family - 2 young kids - on the 3hr learn to sail lesson. Absolutely fantastic experience! Terry is amazing, great to teach and to build your confidence, and the Broadwater is a very good place to learn the basics. the kids had a great time - definitely something to do on a weekend, and now very keen to go to the next level and sail the Whitsundays!! Thanks Terry for the experience and the fun!

Our family of 5 went for a private sailing lesson with Terry on his beautiful yacht this morning. We had an amazing time together and learned so much. Terry is a very knowledgeable and experienced sailing teacher. We highly recommend his hands on lesson.

Booked Terry for my 33rd birthday and had a few friends on board. Everyone raved about how amazing the experience was from beginning to end. Terry was a great host. Very relaxed and let us do our own thing. We will definitely be back again!

An amazing sailing experience for my 7 year old daughter and myself. Terry provided a relaxed environment to learn some of the basics of sailing whilst enabling a fun and memorable sailing experience for the both of us. A great way to experience the Gold Coast from the water.

This was a wonder Birthday present for my fiancé. He absolutely loved it. Terry was great and tailored the Learn To Sail course to our abilities as we had a little prior boating knowledge. So much fun and such a beautiful afternoon!

Terry, was just Brilliant, his whole aim was us to walk before we could run. To make sure that we understand the Don’t,s before we were in the open water. So that when we were out on the open water we were confident in doing things safely and without hurting ourselves. When out on the water he chose the most confident one to steer and the less confident one of us to work the winches and sales. So that as a team we sailed as well and safely as possible.Anyone wanting to step out on the water in Confidence should book a lesson with Terry first.We both loved the experience and would recommend Terry to anyone with full confidence that you will not only have an excellent time out on the water but a safe and knowledgeable understanding of boating/sailing also.

Amazing experience and a perfect time. Terry is amazing and could not praise our experience high enough. Surprised my partner with the trip and was the perfect setting to pop the question and propose with such a beautiful afternoon.

Finally got out for a lesson. Terry can take up to 4 students. I ended up taking only my partner so we would have a more hands on intense time out on the water. Learnt a lot. You can only do so much theory before you have to grind a winch. Terry is a great teacher. Calm and knowledgeable and kept asking questions of us. I recommend him highly

Terry has been professional in his instructing and polite. As a group, we all agreed that we felt more confident after the course. We all really enjoyed how Terry explained the purpose in the actions we do and this really helps us understand and remember. There was a few that couldn't come, and we all agreed that they have missed out! :) thanks Terry for the lesson we will be sure to send you the photos of us in whitsunday

From our first contact, Terry was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. Our family of four enjoyed a learn to sail session filled with expert tuition and hands on experience. Terry tailored the lesson to suit our individual strengths, even getting Mr X-box involved.We had a great time on the water with him and highly recommend Celebrate by Sail Gold Coast.

My husband and I took sailing lessons with Terry to prepare for our upcoming sailing week in the Whitsundays were we have hired a catamaran. I have never sailed before and found Terrys training AMAZING, i left feeling confident enough to go on our trip, and may even do a refresher just before we leave. Terry has a gift for being able to deliver information in a relevant manner that is easy to absorb and relevant to us. I would highly recommend learning to sail with him. It was very hands on and he made sure we understood everything. Terry is a very lovely human
